There is something else I previously neglected to mention regarding our friend "Sgt. Lucas" who is supposedly a member of the United States Air Force: the USAF
does not have the rank of
Sergeant. The rank abbreviated in writing by
Sgt as seen in the phony advertisement is for a U.S. Marine Corps
Sergeant (Sgt) with the enlisted pay grade of E-5, although you sometimes see it also written like that incorrectly for a U.S. Army
Sergeant (SGT) also in the enlisted pay grade of E-5.
Air Force Sergeants begin at
Staff Sergeant E-5, which is always written and abbreviated with
SSgt before their name.
They have no such rank as Sergeant.BTW: in both the Army and USMC, a
Staff Sergeant is the enlisted pay grade of E-6 and written respectively as
SSG and
SSgt.

This may seem trivial to some, but it shows the individual who wrote the con job letter didn't do his homework properly.
